Question: What is the best way to resize your picture? I lose a lot of quality on some shots when I resize. Anyone have some resizing tips?

use Resample and not Resize

I use Bicubic resampling, after which I apply USM for slight sharpening and contrast enhancement.

Generally, for sharpening I use a radius of .3 and an amount of 60. Then, I will sometimes boost the contrast using a USM radius of 50 and amount of 10-20. This serves to counter-act the softness of the resized image.

In resizing to 640 px, detail is going to be lost no matter what - and some shots with a lot of detail simply don't look good when reduced to such small resolution.

Also, check out the tutorials under the learn menu.

There's one on resampling and one on preparing images for challenges.

I don't remember those in the tutorials. I'll have to go look again. thanks to all.
